I have been waiting to write this blog post for a while now! I’m so excited. Janome reached out to me two months ago to see if I would like to try out their new M100 machine, which is Anna Maria Horner’s limited edition machine. Without any hesitation, I agreed! I’ve been using Janome machines…

If I can answer any other questions please feel free to ask. ReplyCancel

Enjoy passing on your creativity. It is a gift she will cherish when she’s older. I had my daughter in law over yesterday and she finished up her first quilt. She nearly squealed and is planning her next one . WonderfulReplyCancel

Really awesome. I recently started teaching my girls (3 and 4) to sew too. So far they haven’t worked the pedal because the one on my machine is hard to control. How is the pedal on the Hello Kitty? Did it take her awhile to get the pressure right? You’ve inspired me to let my older girl do a little more.ReplyCancel
